  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini Bundt pan with cooking spray or butter and flour.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract to the butter and mix until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared mini Bundt pan, filling each mold about 2/3 full.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow the cakes to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a light glaze made from powdered sugar and orange juice. They are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
